Races! Race the clock in 6 different fancy courses! Challenge yourself or your friends to find skips and get the best times!
The Arena! A smash-lite minigame where you can use all your fighting skills against your friends!
Come check out our Discord and let us know what you think of the update, and get a look at what's coming next (https://discordapp.com/invite/aCHC493)!
Thanks so much for playing, and we're excited to bring more to you all in the future!
Squashing spiders (bugs too!)
We just patched a TON of bugs in the recent update which helps with stability, quirky problems, and provides some stronger frame rates on slower machines.
If you have any more bugs, feel free to post, we're all ears and want to address as many as we can. You can post them in the unofficial bug thread or if there's a larger issue feel free to create a new thread and we'll see what we can do.
Feel free to join the SFPA Discord if that's more up your alley: https://discord.gg/bd8gXwF

We're Ready.
Washed, rinsed, dried and... darn it, stained! Ack, the ink from these levels are NOT coming out!
We're all ready for the release of Super Fancy Pants Adventure! Brad Borne (aka DrNeroCF) has pulled out all the stops. This game has been years in development and we're ready to push the button to send it live!
Everything By Hand
To give you an idea of what went into this game, Brad (with a bit of help from his team) hand-created every single level, first drawing out the stage into simple shapes and then carefully redrawing and polishing every single surface of the game.
This includes animations as well. Each animation had to be pain-stakingly done frame-by-frame.
Its done this way on-purpose. Ever since the first Fancy Pants game way back on web, the game has been hand-crafted. Its a trademark of the original Flash game that follows through to the release of this title.
Launch Date
We're excited and proud to launch Super Fancy Pants Adventures this Wednesday. The series has come quite a long way since it released back in 2006. A major thanks to all the fans (especially you from Newgrounds, Armor Games, Kongregate, and now Steam) for supporting this series so passionately. We can't wait to see you slide, jump, run, and of course, be fancy.
